In [[Generation III]], a back side was introduced that displayed such data as how many times a player had played in link battles, won and lost, traded, and even how long they had been playing when they first defeated the [[Elite Four]] and [[Pokémon champion|Champion]] to enter the [[Hall of Fame]]. The trainer card also changes colors after meeting certain conditions, such as defeating the Elite four. In [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen]], a trainer's [[party]] could be photographed in the [[Rocket Game Corner]] in [[Celadon City]] and put on the back as well.

When [[Generation IV]] was released, the ability to keep track of the precise date on which the game was begun and the date and time at which the Elite Four were defeated was added. An area for the trainer's signature was also included. In addition, when communicating in the union room, other players can ask to view the players trainer card, which has a picture of a random trainer class, which can be changed by talking to a man in the Oreburgh City Pokémon center. Once again, the trainer card changes colors once certain conditions are met: defeating the [[Elite Four]], a 100-victory chain at the [[Battle Tower (Sinnoh)|Battle Tower]], winning a Master Rank [[Super Contest]] in any one of the five categories, capturing 50 flags [[The Underground|underground]], and obtaining data on all Pokémon in the [[National Dex]] excluding {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Phione}}, {{p|Manaphy}}, {{p|Darkrai}}, {{p|Shaymin}}, and {{p|Arceus}}. The trainer card also changes color according to the amount of stars imprinted upon it. With one star, the trainer card is the default blue. After achieving one of the listed conditions, the trainer card turns bronze; with two, silver; with three, gold; and with all four conditions met, the trainer card turns black.

In [[Generation I]], [[Generation II|II]], and III, the [[badge]]s that had been earned were displayed on the bottom of the card, however, with the bottom screen of the [[Nintendo DS]] adding to the display area in Generation IV, an actual badge case was added, where trainers could actually polish their badges using the stylus.
